When I brought up scones of facebook today my friend started quoting Hot Knife by Fiona Apple.
I had a good laugh since most of what she sings is
"if I'm butter, if I'm butter, if I'm butter, than he's a hot knife"
So for your listening pleasure today I have the perfect song for getting sconed.

Sunday, 12 January 2014

Hey all,
It's a mug of tea and banana bread kind of morning for me.
Slow going.
Yesterday I convinced myself I should go downtown today.
Now I'm not so sure.
I can always spend money from the comfort of this chair.
(゜_゜) Yeah... I should probably go.

Just played some games and watched a movie while sneezing like crazy.(・へ・)

I don't believe in new years resolutions, but I have one this year.

I'm going to give up alcohol for 3 months.

I don't have a problem with it, never had. But I am very conflicted by it.

Don't get me wrong, I love to go out for a cocktail. It's the perfect social outing.

I love the intimate nature of it. Nothing between you but words and beverages.

But, can't the same be said for tea...?

I have half a bottle of Gin in my freezer, so this is the ultimate test.

Sometimes it's good to restrict yourself.

Here are my last two manicures of 2013

Esmaltes da Kelly - Giovanna with A-England - Encore Margot

Giovana was one of my birthday polishes from Dagadelic <3 now I have two babies with my almost namesake.

This Gio is a beautiful sky blue with tiny purple hexes and pink particles.

Super cute. Paired with Encore Margot, it's pretty dreamy.

Contrary Polish - River Market

This was love at first swatch for me. I knew I had to have her.

Dark purple base full of smouldering red shimmer.

My photos do not do justice. I'm going to work on that.

I was planning to bling out more for new years, but then decided against it.

This polish is like the after glow of a fireworks display.

Understated, just like my evening.

First Manicure of 2014

But first I have some news.

My last post was my 100th post. And tomorrow is my one year blogiversary!

（●＾o＾●）

I have a fun little something coming up very soon, so stay tuned!

Now on to how I started my year

A-England - Her Rose Adagio

Stamped with Konad - Black using MoYou - Sailor Plate 05
I recently heard talk that this stamper was far superior to what I had been using.
And the talk was right! The stamper is so crazy squishy, my super curved nails are no match.
It's literally a whole new world, it even made me want to sing that song.
Oh right, and Her Rose Adagio is gorgeous!

Well I hope you're having a great start to your year.
I'm feeling hopeful.
